(a) Rs.27,500
(b) Rs.25,500
(c) Rs.30,500
(d) Rs.38,000
The abnormal loss is {(3,00,000+5,000) x 1/10} – 3000 = 30500 – 3000 = 27500. Hence option (a) is correct
2. X sends out goods costing Rs.2, 00,000 to Y. 3/5th of the goods were sold by consignee for Rs.1, 40,000. Commission is 2% on sales + 20% of goods sold exceeding cost price. The amount of commission will be:
(a) Rs.5,667
(b) Rs.6,800
